FightMatch has been designed to be as easy to use as possible for fighters, trainers, and fight promoters. However we recognize that there is no way we can expect everyone to just hit the ground running without any assistance. Accordingly, we put together these quick lists for getting started..

PLEASE NOTE: MOST OF THE FEATURES OF FIGHTMATCH ARE RESERVED FOR FIGHTERS THAT HAVE A FULLY APPROVED PROFILE. WE DO THIS TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF OUR FIGHTERS. YOU CANNOT SEARCH OUR DATABASE OR USE OUR CHAT FEATURES UNLESS YOU ARE AN APPROVED FIGHTER, SPARRING PARTNER, TRAINER, OR FIGHT PROMOTER. IF YOU FALSELY STATE THAT YOU ARE A FIGHTER, SPARRING PARTNER, TRAINER, OR FIGHT PROMOTER AND GET APPROVED WE WILL EVENTUALLY FIND OUT AND BAN YOU FROM OUR SYSTEM SO PLEASE DON'T VIOLATE OUR TERMS OF USE.

Fighters, Sparring Partners, Trainers, or Promoters all need to start with the following
